The Australian Surf Life Saving Championships known as The Aussies is the national Surf lifesaving championships for Australia. It is the largest surf lifesaving event in Australia and the largest event of its kind in the world. It is organised by Surf Life Saving Australia, and had been held annually since 1915.

The first Australian Surf Life Saving Championships were held at Bondi Beach, New South Wales in March 1915.[1]

The first Surf Life Saving Australia (SLSA) Masters Championships took place in 1987. It has since become an annual event, providing a platform for experienced surf life savers to showcase their skills and compete at a high level.
